"... The Roos spearhead limped off with help from trainers after he landed awkwardly after being tackled by Cats defender Mark Blicavs.

Brown had his left knee heavily strapped and despite initial reports he would play on he has been ruled out of the remainder of the match. ..."

it looked pretty bad for sideshow bob

he's having a rotten contract year, clearly not an mfc player

Christian Petracca and a couple of first round draft picks should change that...


Hilarious game at the moment

 

29 inside 50's to 10 to pies.  Sydney winning!

may it continue

Syd and the filth is even worse than what I saw last night. Adelaide play the filth next so maybe that might be their sole win for the year.


There are some trash teams this year, and thankfully we haven’t played many of them yet 

I haven't seen a second of the game, but the stats show Collingwood is +68 in disposals, +8 free kicks, +22 in CPs, +8 in clearances and +24 in inside 50s, for a three point lead.

Sydney's had 15 inside 50s for 5.1.

Are the Pies trying to model themselves on us?

Game on. What happened to Treloar? 


The umpiring this year has been absolutely terrible. Holding the ball doesn’t exist and infringements are just ignored one after the other,  until a soft free is paid resulting in a goal to the more popular team. You could be forgiven for thinking they are actually cheating.

Not just Treloar, but Quaynor and Will Hoskin-Elliott were both off injured as well.  Quaynor looks like a break in the lower leg, Hoskin-Elliot was a leg injury (knee?) and missed Treloar's, so no idea what happened to him.

Done something to his hammy, they are going to have a very weak side against us. 

Like they did a couple of years ago and belted us, to stop us making the finals.

Watched the second half with my magnificent spouse.

Me:  "Ugh, so many of these Collingwood players look like little [blank]s."

Her:  "Oh, don't be so harsh, they're not Hawthorn."

She also lip-synced Buckley talking to the 3/4 time huddle, including "You're not Coles, you're not Woolies."  Her theory being that the Collingwood players had those range-activated thingies that make your shopping trolley stop when you get too far away from their start point.

Some people just really commit to embracing Australian culture, y'know?  Sigh, she even really, really hates West Coast supporters. 

?

I heard Eddie say Sidebottom's partner was expecting (in the context of players returning to Melbourne for births and then having to do another 2 weeks quarantine) but unsure if she is in Qld or Vic currently. Pendles, Treloar, Sidebottom and Degoey potentially not playing from their midfield. We won't deserve finals if we can't take care of that.

Dam sydney had there chances in that final term. Papley missed shots he'd usually kick and when they were 2 points down 3 swans players just handballed to each other instead of 1 choosing to take shot when they were all open. Dam that would have been great to see them knocked off, but in fairness the goal by Daicos was awesome. 

The saints suns game is really enjoyable so far. Not fussed who wins. 

I'm biased because I absolutely detest St Kilda, but I reckon they're the worst top 2 side I've ever seen.

They rely on goals out the back, extreme accuracy (which history says doesn't last) and unforced errors from their opponents.

Sure, credit to them for winning and likely going 7-3 after tonight, but I reckon they're going to get found out later in the year.

 

Memo to Dees brains trust. 
 

1- Saints forward strategy. 2 Talls. 4 smalls. Kick to forward 25 spot and rove the pack. Butler. Hind. Kent. Gresham. 
 

2- Saints mids. Use their pace and run. Hill. Jones. Billings. Hold them up and slow down the supply. 
 

Probably doesn’t matter. Membrey is poor against most clubs but kicks 4-5 against Dees (usually on oscar McDonald)

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
